Summary: This is the best card money can buy. Don't be stupid and buy the 6800 ultra. This is the same card same pipelines same everything. Its bios comes with it is different therefor underclocking its potential. Rip this baby up to 400 core and 1100 memory and WALLA you have an ultra. This does not stress the card at all. I've went as high as 450 1200, great card great price.

Summary: EVGA is simply the best! They offer an awesome step up program that rocks! If you buy and register an EVGA card, you can step up to a better card and pay the difference. I stepped up, and I had some problems with my motherboard and the driver, and EVGA technical support helped me resolve my problem. It took a few e-mails, and they called me at home to check up on my system. I was very impressed with how I was treated; they take a lot of pride in providing super technical support. This card allows me to play Doom 3 on the ultra settings with 4X AA and average 55 FPS! That is simply astonishing! I am very impressed with this product, and especially EVGA.

Not up to scratch

Pros: Powerful on older games

Summary: This is one of the top agp graphics cards left on the market. Its performance with doom 3 and hl2 is impressive. But when faced with newer games like cod2 or fear. the performance is greatly diminished.
I have the 256 mb version of this card. and if I had the chance again i would have replaced my motherboard, bit the bullet and got a new pci express card.
P.S. Nvidia release the worst drivers. try to avoid Nvidia. Go for ati . each driver release is so much more powerful. -

Awesome Card for Today's Games!
Pros: I purchased this card to replace my ATI 9800 Pro that came with my Dell XPS. It handled Half-Life 2 and Doom beautifully. This video card has made all the difference in the world in regards to my gaming experience. GO FOR IT!
Cons: It was a little on the pricey side, but well worth it!

Why buy ultra?
Pros: Every game I have thrown at it, it chewed up and spit out.(HL2, Doom 3, Farcry, Joint Operations) Why spend the extra $100 for the Ultra? For .00000023 faster explosions? Use that money for some more ram or a couple of directx9 games.
Cons: None. Well I guess availability for others. Luckily I got mine while the getting was good.

Best card i've owned.
Pros: Does very well with some of the most demanding games out there.
Cons: I experienced some problems with farcry. In the shadowey areas, the ground was completely black.
